???????????CR QUEEN??????????
Hi! I’m Shopping613’s friend and I borrowed her account for another thread but this one caught my eye also…..you can call me CR QUEEN, the way you know if I am posting is by the big letters and stars on top! Anyway!
I hope your son will come back to you! I know what it is like with the frum/chareidi people not being very accepting if you are on a different level of kedushah, I thought id share a story that happened to my friend:
My friend was on a bus somewhere and noticed a woman….she was a normal woman but my friend recignized her from somewhere, so my friend came up to her and said “I recognize you from somewhere ” and the lady said “maybe from my youtube video from how chareidim/frummies are very horrible and think they can tell everyone what level of kedushah you need to be on ” (Not my opinion) my friend said “oh ya I watched that! ” and then she began crying and crying and told the woman that not all chareidim /frum ppl are like that and there are many people who love her and do not judge her and others like her on your level of kedushah or on how she dresses! The other woman began to cry too…..it was an amazing experience, she told me. She said it felt good to give someone a second perspective on life to keep her going…..
I think that’s what OTD kids need, a chance to see everything from a new perspective! Give them that chance and show them that you’ll accept them no matter what and one day they WILL come back! I ‘m sure of it!
Good Luck!
